go-vncdriver

A fast VNC driver.

OpenGL viewer

If you get an error of the form:

go_vncdriver was installed without OpenGL support. See https://github.com/openai/go-vncdriver for details on how debug.

That means that your go-vncdriver was built without OpenGL support. (The installer will first try to install with OpenGL, but will fall back to installing without it.)

To figure out what happened, the easiest approach is to clone this repo and run ./build.py, which should print out the error upon installing with OpenGL:

git clone https://github.com/openai/go-vncdriver.git
cd go-vncdriver
./build.py

If you get errors like below then you need to install the rendering dependencies:

fatal error: X11/Xcursor/Xcursor.h: No such file or directory
fatal error: X11/extensions/Xrandr.h: No such file or directory
fatal error: X11/extensions/XInput.h: No such file or directory
fatal error: GL/gl.h: No such file or directory

Once you've fixed the issue, you should reinstall go-vncdriver by running the following command from go-vncdriver folder:

pip install -e ./

Installation

Dependencies

On Ubuntu 16.04:

sudo apt-get install -y python-dev make golang libjpeg-turbo8-dev

On Ubuntu 14.04:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-lxc/lxd-stable  # for newer golang
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y python-dev make golang libjpeg-turbo8-dev

On OSX:

brew install libjpeg-turbo golang

(On OSX newer than El Capitan, you may need to install golang from their site, and then just install brew install libjpeg-turbo.)

Rendering

OpenGL rendering is optional, but it's the best way to see what your agent sees.

To enable it, you'll need X and OpenGL development headers.

On Ubuntu, this is:

sudo apt-get install libx11-dev libxcursor-dev libxrandr-dev \
  libxinerama-dev libxi-dev libxxf86vm-dev libgl1-mesa-dev \
  mesa-common-dev
